Auctions are my hobby. Love to go to ’em and have had several of my own. Mark’s job selling my parent’s home and acreage was terrific. Why? He knows how to pace an auction, how to give bidders time to think. Not to mention he is one of the most optimistic friendly people I’ve encountered. Do not fret about this auctioneer decision-just call Zomer.

I can’t thank Mark Zomer at Zomer company enough for his help in selling a parcel of my wife’s family’s farmland. Mark was sensitive to my concerns as it had to be split three ways with me and the two sisters. He met with all of us to come to an agreement. Although it was not easy, his patience, understanding, compassion, and expertise gave us the confidence that it would be done fairly, and it was. I had never been to an auction and did not know the work involved in putting it all together. He always made himself available to give me advice and encouragement when I called. Mark was always open and honest in explaining the next steps. On the day of the auction, it was a cold day and Mark came and sat with me in the car before it started. His words brought peace to stressful me. Mark’s caring ways and kindness were greatly appreciated.

Our mother passed away and after months of anguish, the decision was made to sell the family farm. This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.
He was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can’t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed. Thanks, Mark!

When we were looking to buy a home here in Rock Valley, we contacted Ryan Zomer at Zomer Company. We told him what we were looking for and how much we wanted to spend on a home and he went to work looking and keeping in touch with us until he found us just the right home to buy. These people work hard to place you in the home that you’re looking for. In a tight housing market, like it is here in town, that meant that he had his work cut out for him. But it didn’t seem to be a hard task for Ryan. He showed us a few homes and when ours came onto the market, he was right there to help us with our offer and right through till the end of the sale at closing time. We would use them again if the need were to ever arise.

I have had multiple opportunities to do business with Mark and the first thing that comes to mind for me is his integrity. Mark has earned my trust and his word can be depended on. I appreciate his hard work but, I also want to mention that he gives back to the community. Mark is an asset to the Real Estate business and also to the area.

Making the decision to sell two Iowa farm parcels took many months. One parcel was purchased in 1901 by our great grandfather and the other parcel was purchased during the depression by our grandfather. With no farmers in the family, it made sense to sell but feelings of guilt held us back.  A relative recommended we discuss an auction with Mark Zomer.  Mark understood our attachment to the farm and the guilt we felt for even thinking of selling.  He laid out the options with no sales pressure and we all felt he was the one to use for our auction.  The whole process of getting ready for the auction was organized and coordinated seamlessly.  We couldn’t be happier with how Zomer Company Realty & Auctions executed the auction on our family farm.  We strongly recommend using Mark Zomer at Zomer Company!
